Following the call

Welcome to our blog :-)


This a a blog all about Tim and Abbie Paton, and us following the missionary calling on our lives. 


Over the 2010/2011 summer break Abbie and I spent some time seeking God and what he had for us. During this time we got some clear instructions from God. Firstly, that we were to go and live overseas in one place for a year. Secondly, after asking where, that we were to go and serve in Japan.


Knowing how long and where, we started asking round some contacts and nothing seemed to happen. However, in God's timing we got connected with a couple in Osaka, Graeme and Lucy Fawcett.


So we are off! Do we know what we'll be doing, not fully, but we're confident details will be worked out as the time approaches and once we arrive there.


Abbie and I have a passion for Japan and desire to see the people redeemed by Christ. Japan while being a very technologically advanced nation, is hugely unreached in terms of the Gospel, with less than 1% Christian. 


We're excited about the journey and intend to keep this blog up to date so you can know what we are up to. 


Tim
